delicious
That is delicious which affords a gratification at once vivid and delicate to the senses, especially to those of taste and smell; as, delicious fruit; a delicious odor; luscious has a kindred but more fulsome meaning, inclining toward a cloying excess of sweetness or richness. Savory is applied chiefly to cooked food made palatable by spices and condiments. Delightful may be applied to the higher gratifications of sense, as delightful music, but is chiefly used for that which is mental and spiritual. Delicious has a limited use in this way; as, a delicious bit of poetry; the word is sometimes used ironically for some pleasing absurdity; as, this is delicious! Compare DELIGHTFUL.

How to use delicious in a sentence?
The main course was fish and it was good ! That’s amazing, those are the miracles we’re looking for. I mean, because, in general, let’s be honest : Fish is disgusting. When you go out to dinner, maybe it’s just me – maybe I ’m normal – when I go out to dinner, I ’m never like, ‘ Instead of getting a delicious steak, I ’ll get the fish, because I like disgusting food. ’ I never do that, because fish is disgusting.

Instagram Mila and I had fun testing the wine and it was delicious.
This is why being a business owner, and having actual ownership in companies (not licensing), is so important to me and Alex, especially as Latinos. Its about showing our community, this is what life can be. You can take charge and take ownership. It allows us to have a say in creating things that make peoples lives better and have partners that share our passion for giving back. Because giving back and being there for others is really what matters most , we are happy to be in business with partners who also believe no child should EVER have to go to sleep hungry. Everyone should have access to delicious, nutritious food. This was my favorite moment of the month and its one of the best things weve been able to do.@tillerandhatch#tillerandhatch.
